24/7 anti-drug operations
By Bebot Villar
LET there be no mistake about it but our province’s campaign against illegal drugs and trafficking is, indeed, serious! Even during official and legal holiday, the anti-drug operations of our law enforcers continue without letup. Congratulations!
The simultaneous operation of “Oplan Huli Day and Arrest Day” in the province led to the arrest of 51 drug personalities in Dasol, Bautista, Rosales, Mangaldan, Sison, Asingan and Mangatarem.
Unlicensed firearms were also confiscated in the towns of Urbiztondo, Aguilar, Dasol, Anda, San Nicolas, Rosales, Binmaley, Pozorrubio, Urdaneta City, Mangatarem, Infanta, Bautista, Sual, Sison, Sta. Maria, San Manuel, Bugallon, Asingan and Dagupan City.
That’s how extensive the criminal network has become. Ginagamit din po ang unlicensed firearms na ‘yan sa kanilang illegal drug trade. We hope our mayors in these towns will initiate measures to help contain the drug problems in their respective places.
Sana turuan ang kanilang mga kapitan kung paano ibalik ang tiwala ng mga taong nagluklok sa kanila bilang barangay leaders nila! Or ask for the assistance of our most loved barangay captain in Urdaneta Cty, Kapitan. Arsenio L. Elegado, Sr. I am sure Chairman Elegado will be happy to share his experience in exercising his right of citizen’s arrest against the drug pushers in his barangay.

Paging OIC PD Sr. Supt. Saltat… Can we have an update on the unsolved killings in the province? How many cases have been resolved and how many remain unresolved since you assumed the post as OIC PD?? Marami kasi ang nagtatanong.
Illegal drugs and trafficking are another issues. Hindi po natin ito maaaring ikumpara sa mga unsolved killings ng ating probinsya na ang ilan sa mga ito ay inabot na ng dekada ng walang katarungan. That’s why we understand why there are people asking about it.
Pero sa drug issue, alam natin na lalong pinaigting ang kampanya 24/7. I am sharing below some pertinent facts about the current market prices of major dangerous drugs last October 2015:
The price of shabu ranges from P1,400.00 to P9,000.00 per gram while marijuana is valued at P18.00 to P300.00 per gram. Price of ecstasy ranges from P1,200.00 to P3,000.00 per tablet and price of cocaine ranges from P5,000.00 to P7,000.00 per gram.
Ngayon, may idea na kayo kung magkano ang kinikita ng mga damuhong drug traders! Kaya’t hwag na kayong magtataka kung bakit marami pa rin ang buwis-buhay alang-alang sa iligal na droga!

My family and I will always be grateful to our community in Sto. Tomas who chose to live peacefully by rejecting all forms of illegal drug activity all these years. Nakakatuwa dahil through the years, they continue to show their love, trust and respect for our family by supporting our candidates keeping them unopposed!
Kung hindi siguro kami gumagawa ng maayos para sa aming mga kababayan sa Sto. Tomas, siguro hindi magtatagal ang aming pamilya sa politika. Dahil sa ating mga kababayan, nakagawa kami ng mahalaga at makabuluhang bagay na alam namin hindi basta-basta makalilimutan. And this is what I want our councilors who are also on their 3rd term come next elections to remember.
I continue to hope that they will seek to serve even our communities better nang sa ganun ay hindi naman masayang ang aming magandang nasimulan.
Marami pa po tayong pwede gawin upang patunayan sa ating mga kababayan na tayo ay talagang karapat-dapat sa kanilang pagtitiwala na ipinagkaloob sa atin. Although PDEA certified that Sto. Tomas remains drug-free, local officials hindi lang ang iligal na droga. They can confirm this by consulting their constituents.
Being unopposed is too much of a blessing already! I hope they realize it doesn’t happen to everyone and it only happens for a reason. Hwag sana nila sayangin ang blessing na ito. Continue to be worthy of people’s trust by providing the best of themselves to help our town become more progressive.
Sana ipagpatuloy nila ang kanilang their cooperation with the incumbent mayor, my nephew, Mayor Dick Villar, who is on his second term and is also unopposed. Continue to work as a team for a more progressive Sto. Tomas!
